Auf Wiedersehen, Vienna!
I left Vienna yesterday (Sunday) for somewhere more sunny and warm! I see the forecast is for it to remain cool and rainy in Vienna, looks like winter is on its way! As I traveled through airports recently, I find … Continue reading
Mozarthaus, Vienna

Mozart’s new favorite instrument

Odds and ends
A few things I found entertaining. When you use one of the machines at the train station to buy a ticket you need to press this button. Just imagine Arnold Swarzenegger saying it! Heather apparently comes in many unnatural colors … Continue reading
